It is well known that the Greek philosophical material that was eventually translated into and preserved in Arabic came first through a middle-stage translation into Syriac. However, despite this knowledge, the effects of Greek philosophical schools on Syriac thought is often overlooked. Anton Baumstark publishes here the portion of Theodore bar Koni’s Scholia that deals with the various Greek philosophical traditions. In Theodore’s work, the discussion is split into six sections, each dealing with a particular school of thought, including Pythagoras, Plato, Aristotle, the Stoics, the Epicureans and the Naturalists. Baumstark provides an introduction to this text, including a brief discussion of each school of thought and its apparent affect within the Syriac tradition. Baumstark presents the Syriac text of Theodore’s work along with a Latin translation. There is also an appendix included with this article in which Baumstark introduces and discusses the first nine books of Theodore’s Scholia that was published in a previous edition of Oriens Christianus.

Sixth-Century Fragments of an East-Syrian Anaphora

Although this fragmentary Eastern Syriac Anaphora was previously published by G. Bickell, R.H. Connolly disagreed with several editorial and conjectural decisions. Thus, Connolly publishes here his own edited version of the text accompanied by a Latin translation and extended notes.

Marriage and the Sacraments

Originally delivered as one of the St. Margaret’s Lectures for 1904, the contents of this booklet are focused on aspects of the Syriac-speaking Church. Extracted from Burkitt’s book Early Eastern Christianity, the fourth lecture concerns the development of marriage and the role of sacraments in the early Syriac Church. Burkitt finds that marriage was not early regarded as a sacrament and the married faithful were not permitted the sacraments of baptism or communion in the early tradition represented by Aphraates.
